Knowing the “average” is all well and good, but doesn’t give that clear a picture. Does anyone have a source for the the median age, or better yet an age distribution graph?

Why are we posting corporate advertising in News now?

US prisoners are being assigned dangerous jobs. But what happens if they are hurt or killed? (apnews.com)

Blas Sanchez was nearing the end of a 20-year stretch in an Arizona prison when he was leased out to work at Hickman’s Family Farms, which sells eggs that end up in the supply chains of huge companies like McDonald’s, Target and Albertsons. While assigned to a machine that churns chicken droppings into compost, his right leg...

It’s the new 2/3 compromise.

Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?

So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I’m mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people...

Emma_Gold_Man ,

That’s an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

Of course, those weren’t capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism’s instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

But it would not work on older non-GNU versions of tar.

GNU introduced the “–foo” style long options, and it was a long time before Unix versions began adopting them.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Not necessarily. There is a foreign earned income exclusion, so if you pay income taxes on it in the country where you’re living you don’t pay taxes to the US.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

$126,500 per person, plus another $20,240 in housing expenses. Plus your $13,850 standard deduction (though if you’re making that much you’re probably itemizing for more). So $160,590 for an individual or $321,180 for married filing jointly. That’s assuming no kids and no other deductions or credits - which is pretty unlikely at that income level.

$160,590 is the 93rd percentile for US income distribution. So yeah, if you (AND your partner, if any) are both in the top 7% income bracket, bad at tax preparation, and don’t hire an accountant, you might still pay tax on the income over that amount. Of course, making that much while keeping the kind of ethics that let you care about anyone other than yourself is a nontrivial endeavor.

Don’t forget that your foreign employer won’t be reporting to the IRS. So if your protest extends to not voluntarily reporting that excess income …

Not everyone that disagrees with a law is in a position to immediately change it.

The title is unreasonably generous. The apology is entirely self serving and meaningless.

  • He doesn’t apologize for throwing water for the man - only for posting it on social media.
  • He tries to frame a narrative that the victim deserved it
  • He doesn’t offer any sort of reparations or even an insignificant donation to a group that works with unhoused people generally.

It’s clearly only to ensure his business is not affected, reduce the threat of prosecution (being considered by law enforcement, presumably for assault), and to encourage leniency from the judge if it gets that far.

Apology not accepted.

Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel?

Is it a ‘thank you for prepping my room’ or ‘please clean my room today’? If you tip post cleaning, it’s likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?...

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Because it’s a shit job with minimal pay, physically demanding, and the hours are usually cut in the off-season.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Not tipping only punishes the victim, not the employer.

A less euphemistic term in English is “regulatory capture”

The cost-of living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming are homeless

That would be silly when they have last year’s sales numbers to go off of.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

That wasn’t luck - it was best practice backup strategy.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Probably by buying and then sitting on the patents

If you had bothered to watch the videos, you’d have noticed that they cite and link the primary source research studies they refer to. The position they take is also rather nuanced - not “fluoride bad” but “There is not insignificant but not overwhelming evidence that fluoride intake should be reduced during pregnancy”

Emma_Gold_Man ,

As your linked site points out, they rated that way based on a bias toward veganism. Since fluoride is not animal based, that doesn’t have any bearing on this particular topic.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

You’re meant to wonder that - it’s part of an intentional narrative. How is it possible? Because police don’t arrest everyone they detain. For one documented example of this, look to the Cop City protests in Atlanta:

(Sorry about the paywall, so quoting below):

There’s a certain irony, then, that in statements on Sunday’s arrests, Atlanta police officials have made a point of blaming “outside agitators” for taking up militant action. Out of 44 people originally detained in Sunday’s forest raid, the 11 people released without charge all had Atlanta addresses. Twenty-one of the 23 activists charged with domestic terrorism are from out of state.

Common in IT roles as well.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

IT has a level of access to systems that makes management nervous. The fear is that an IT person in financial trouble could use that to embezzle, or be pressured to sell access to a malicious third party.

This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assumptions of average needs that won’t all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.

At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance’s provider list or to search your location here and then filter by “Online” and your insurance carrier

If you don’t mind a little extra effort, Miyoko Schinner (founder if that “Miyoko’s Creamery” brand) also has a book out - Artisan Vegan Cheese with an excellent meltable (not pourable) soy/cashew yogurt based mozzarella recipe.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

In addition to the above, there’s also the use of animal rennet made from calf stomach linings

Emma_Gold_Man ,

You’re straw manning their argument. They aren’t comparing the oppression of LGBTQIA+ folk to the oppression of cheese. The comparison is to the oppression of animals - who most definitely are being dragged behind the truck.

You can, and probably would, make the argument that animals don’t deserve the same level of moral consideration as LGBTQIA+ humans, but the vegan argument is that non-human animals experience pain and suffering and deserve the same right to life and non-exploitation for the same reason that any human (LGBTQIA+ or not) does.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

They’re not mutually exclusive. For those too lazy to follow the link - traditional mapo tofu (like many Chinese tofu recipes) isn’t vegetarian . Tofu as a total replacement for meat is a Western idea - in most Eastern cultures that use it, tofu is just another ingredient and often used along with meat and animal based broths. The same is true of soy milk.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

“Pressed” tofu usually refers to firm or extra firm tofu that is then put under much higher pressure to expel not only more water but also most of the air, and has a completely different texture.

Usually using something like this

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Have I got a book for you - Artisan Vegan Cheese

Emma_Gold_Man ,

No problem. Depending on your time/money balance, the recipes should work just as well starting with a commercial soy or almond plain yogurt base. I’d avoid coconut milk based yogurts, since the coconut flavor tends to carry through to the yogurt and presumably to the cheese as well.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Nah. Replacing the kernel is probably planned for the next point release - it’ll just be GNU/systemd

GOP House hard-liners won’t compromise. They’re losing key fights because of it. (www.washingtonpost.com)

Democrats, Johnson told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt last week, “move in a herd” and “act like a union” following their leader because there’s no diversity of opinion causing them to stray. Their groupthink could even be described as the behavior of “socialists,” he asserted. Republicans, however, can’t be...

Exactly - Trump is the individual, and you’re the rug!

‘Like a war zone’: Emory University grapples with fallout from police response to protest | US universities (www.theguardian.com)

The university’s response was likely the quickest show of police force in response to a divestment protest among the dozens nationwide that have occurred in recent weeks. It was also probably the only one where pepper balls, stun guns and rubber bullets were used against students, faculty and community members – at one of...

What’s even better is that one of their greatest protest singers called out that pattern at the time:

Sure, once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
Ah, but I’ve grown older and wiser
And that’s why I’m turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

Only reason it wouldn’t work is Canonical killing the .deb package. That was an unforced error. So no, still not a good idea.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

It doesn’t break apt, Canonical just broke their version of apt just to prefer snaps now.

But raw milk is also not allowed to be sold for human consumption.

The way this works in the server world is “95th percentile” billing. They track your bandwidth usage over the course of the month (probably in 5 minute intervals), strike off the 5% highest peaks, and your bill for the month is based on the highest usage remaining.

That’s considerably more honest than charging you based solely on the highest usage you could theoretically use at any time point in a 24 hour period (which is how ISPs define the “max bandwidth”) and then charging you again or cutting off your service if you use more than a certain amount they won’t even put in writing.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

It’s a step, but only a small one. Still need to do the same for transition related care. And immigrants. And move to require warrants. In fact, there’s no legitimate reason to hand these kinds of records over to law enforcement in the first place

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Huge apartment buildings can still be done with individual units being owned rather than rented. They already exist - they’re called condominiums.

Even easier and more comfortable - count the pads instead of the knuckles. You can count to 12 with one hand, or 144 with two

The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, “fine fining” menus, and corporate award certificates

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

Sorry, it was Solaris - you just blew it up (the minus is invalid on many Unix versions of tar)

Emma_Gold_Man ,

Nope - it was Unix not Linux. The minus makes the command invalid on many Unix versions of tar (though most modern BSD versions allow it)

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

Emma_Gold_Man ,

For those not in the US south and afraid of being judged, “all” on its own is an option.

“Hi all” is unlikely to raise any eyebrows

Emma_Gold_Man ,

And the ICJ didn’t dispute that. They said that the convention the case was brought under defines “financing” as money only, so supplying weapons and training camps doesn’t qualify as “financing”.

Off topic, but as a pen lover - those are lovely! Especially enjoyed the second two from the left.
